We now return to Young‰۪s first effort, ‰Û÷Recurring Dreams‰۪, dating back to 1981 and the apex of the Eno \/ Berlin schools‰۪ influence over myriad American followers. Young created eight EMS \/ Rhodes pieces solo, subtly weaving in variable-speed Revox manipulation of traditional rock instrumentation with the lightest of touches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2;\"\u003eAs anyone who has heard ‰Û÷Traveler‰۪s Advisory‰۪ already knows, Matthew Young could never be a mere imitator. What all too often amounted to predictable shtick in the field of early 80s home electronica, Young made personal, delicate, discreet and discrete. Wordlessly illustrating its titles - ‰Û÷Version, Inversion‰۪, ‰Û÷The Forest Of Lilacs‰۪ and ‰Û÷Mistral‰۪ (a strong, cold, north westerly wind), Young conjures vivid, progressive tones of the unknown.\u003c\/span\u003e\r\u003c\/div\u003e\r\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2;\"\u003e‰Û÷Recurring Dreams‰۪ requires repeat listenings to fully reveal its Bonsai-like qualities. Fans of Erik Satie, JD Emmanuel, private-issue new age or the more placid side of minimal synth should take note of this one.åÊ\u003c\/span\u003e\r\u003c\/div\u003e\r\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2;\"\u003eLP on Drag City\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64322935554425,"sku":null,"price":11.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/matthew-young-recurring-dreams-south-records-ltd_024474af-3311-483c-b3de-98107b1efae5.jpg?v=1787904110","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/matthew-young-recurring-dreams","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
